Every time Chris and I start a painting project, throwing around color ideas, he always asks 'what about yellow?' And I have to admit, that I usually cringe a bit on the inside. Not because it's a bad color, it's just not one that I think I can incorporate into a space and design around all that well (sort of a home decor "it's not you, it's me" if you will...). But the final color choice is always up to Chris. I go through this process of research, testing colors, and narrowing it down, and then he chooses the color we go with. Seems fair, right? Right.
Well, I have been wanting to find a way to incorporate yellow somehow, without it looking like spongebob exploded in our house (he's yellow, right?), and I am happy to report that I finally found a great solution!
While choosing the paint colors for the outside of our house, we really wanted a bright, fun color for the front door. But none of them seemed to match very well with the red brick that we have covering majority of the front entrance. In the end, we decided on black and absolutely love it, but the desire for a fresh, fun pop of color has not left us.
So while Chris was in England last week, I decided to do a little surprise for him. Check it out... I literally smile every time I walk towards the door. There is something about yellow that just makes you happy, am I right?
It looks slightly brighter in the photo (I'll blame it on bad lighting. No way is it my poor photography skills...)
And just for good measure, I threw a little on the back door, too! Swoon...

I love it, and it is definitely growing on Chris! My job here is done. #canwestoptalkingaboutyellownow? ;) #thankyouverymuch
